Opinion | Predatory Colleges, Freed to Fleece Students - The New York Times
' Attorneys general are not only suing abusive for-profit schools, they are suing the federal government itself, resisting efforts to weaken or ignore regulations that protect students from predatory institutions. '
'Since then, Congress has intermittently tightened regulations only to loosen them under industry pressure, leading to a cycle of exploitation. '
'Education Secretary Betsy DeVos claimed ignorance when she was asked during a congressional hearing on Tuesday how many of the college students who told her department that they had been ripped off were complaining about for-profit schools. '
'The problem became so pervasive that 37 state attorneys general joined forces to combat it. '
'Try as they might, the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress cannot disguise that they continue to do the bidding of the for-profit college industry, which has saddled working-class students — including veterans — with crushing debt while providing useless degrees, or no degrees at all.
